Cucumber Drink With Vinegar Mint Syrup

This is a refreshing and thirst quenching drink, perfect for hot summer days!. It cools you down from the inside out!

The sweet-and-sour vinegar mint syrup made with vinegar, honey and fresh mint is mixed with water and grated cucumber, and served ice-cold. The old-timers swore that this drink made the humidity more tolerable.

Note: The suggest ratio of syrup to water can be adjusted to taste by adding more or less syrup or water.

Any left over syrup can be refrigerated in a glass jar with a tight lid and use as needed.

Bring water and honey to a boil in small saucepan over high heat stirring constantly, until honey dissolves. Add vinegar and reduce heat to low, and simmer for 20 minutes or until you have a thick syrup. Take pan off heat, add the mint sprigs to the syrup and allow them to seep while the syrup cools.
